[Coming Soon] The Last Samurai

IJN Kongo (Rank IV)

The battlecruiser Kongo was the last Japanese ship of this class constructed outside of the country. It was launched on May 18, 1912 in Barrow-in-Furness and served for over 30 years!Ships of this class were the most active participants in World War II battles. The IJN Kongo attacked Pearl Harbor, invaded Singapore, fought for Midway and survived the Battle of Guadalcanal.

The battlecruiser Kongo is not inferior to IV rank battleships in armament, and even beats them in maneuverability. The main disadvantage is its relatively weak armor, but in the hands of an experienced captain Kongo will win any battle.

The 356mm main caliber guns are a strong argument in favor of a battlecruiser, and coupled with the fast-firing 150mm auxiliary caliber make the Kongo a powerful opponent for ships of III and IV ranks.

The big advantage of the ship is a long-range 127mm anti-aircraft battery, which will prevent enemy aircraft from getting close.

The Kongo carries 3 scout planes with suspended bomb armament (4x60kg), which will not only help in finding targets for the next raid, but also participate in it.

The increased premium IJN Kongo coefficients speed up the ship's campaign level by 28.5 times and the number of Silver Lions you receive after a battle by 4 times. And the bright, aggressive camouflage confuses your enemies and makes them want to get far away from the victory-minded samurai!
